I did the ride this year as a beginner and strongly recommend the official training rides to get used to ride in groups and practice the ALC safety rules; the rules may seem excessive but they are necessary when riding with 2000+ people. Don’t miss the climbing clinic even if you know about gears (I didn’t) they cover the mental aspect of climbing and really boosted my confidence. Have a fantastic ride.

Sun, 25 Dec 2016 03:53:10 +0000http://accidentalexpertise.wordpress.com/?p=987#comment-28As an ABC disciple like you, I completely see and agree with so much of this. Being able to see put in to words much of what I too want to see in my students, it begins to validate much of what the second half of my teaching years have been striving for.
I wish you happy holidays and the very best for the coming new year.
I hope to reconnect some time soon and “relive” our Ashland experiences. Maybe even have some of your wisdom at our So Calif band association conferences.
For now, be well and prosper.

As a parent of a former student you taught and volunteer, I can add that all of your thoughts above comes through each and every minute you spend with those students. You mold young lives not just teach music! And they are forever changed for the better because of your love and dedication to the school, the program and most of all the kids! Thank you most sincerely for being so passionate because you DO make a difference.

I really enjoy your posts and this one reminds me that this is a valuable exercise even if you are not going to festival where there is sight reading. I will be pulling out my old sight reading folders (yes, I used to do this too, but not in as great detail as you) and filling them up for the start of the next year. Thank you for your insights. It’s helps me re-balance my focus!
